Charlie Dunn

Well, if you're ever in Austin, Texas
 A little run down on your sole
 I'm gonna tell you the name of a man to see
 I'm gonna tell you right where to go
 He's working in Capitol Saddlery
 And he's sewing in the back of the place
 He's old Charlie Dunn, the little frail one
 With the smilin' leathery face
 [Chorus]
 Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see
 Charlie done the boots that are on my feet
 It makes Charlie real pleased to see me walkin' with ease
 Charlie Dunn, he's the one to see
 Charlie's been make boots over there
 He says, about fifty some-odd years
 And once you wear a pair of his hand-made boots
 You know you'll never wear a store-bought pair
 Charlie can tell what's wrong with your feet
 Just by feeling them with his hand
 And he can take a look at the boots you wear
 And know a whole lot about you, man
 (Chorus)
 [Bridge]
 Now, ol' Buck's up front, he's countin' his gold
 Charlie's in the back patchin' up the soles
 Of the people comin' in, smilin' at him
 They all wonder how's ol' Charlie been
 And ol' Buck's makin' change, he never sees no one
 He never understood the good thing that Charlie done
 Yeah, ol' Charlie never had his name on the sign
 He never put a mark in his boots
 He just hopes that you can remember him
 The same way that he does you
 He keeps your measurements in this little book
 So you can order more boots later on
 Well I'm writin' down some of Ol' Charlie's size
 'Cause I'm makin' him up this song
 (Chorus)
 Yeah, ol' Buck's makin' change, he never sees no one
 And He never understood the good thing that Charlie done
